Emergencies

The North Township School District has developed a Crisis Response Plan
that is designed to minimize danger to anyone occupying a school should
an emergency occur. Our main objective is to attend to the health and
welfare of your children in the event of a crisis.

In most emergencies, your children will remain and be cared for at the
school they attend. In the rare event of an emergency that prohibit
reentry to a school building (such as broken gas or water main, a fire,
or a toxic spill), elementary and middle students will be transported
via school transportation/or walk to the nearest and most appropriate
location. High School students will be dismissed to return home for the
day.

We ask that you follow this procedure if you hear of any school emergency:

Please do not telephone the school. We have limited phone lines. These MUST be used to respond to an emergency.

Please do not come to the school unless you are requested to pick up
your child. Any emergency involving your child's school may mean
emergency vehicles and workers must be able to get to the building. If
the emergency necessitates relocation of staff and students, you will be
informed via the media.

Access school closing infomation at (732) 289-3000, press 1 when
recording is heard. The latest information available will be posted to
this phone location.

North Brunswick Public School District Emergency Contact Communications System

The school district has implemented a notification/communication system
to inform the families of students of important information like school
closings due to snow and updates when there are emergencies in our
schools. Families of North Brunswick Public School students are
automatically registered for this service that uses the home and cell
phone numbers that families have provided to the school district as
contact phone numbers to make the notifications.

Whenever school is closed (or there is a delayed opening or early
closing due to inclement weather) or there is a school emergency, the
families of students will automatically be contacted using the contact
information families provide. If you do not receive these messages
, please contact the Board of Education offices at (732) 289-3000 if
you have not yet received a message through this new system.
